I Taught My Daughter a Lesson When She Tried to Place Me in a Nursing Home for Financial Gains. When 90-year-old Julia’s daughter Anne tried to move her into a nursing facility so she could get her funds, Julia was put in a startling situation. Julia made the decision to take charge and give her daughter a priceless lesson in love and respect.
Julia said, “If you don’t want to take care of me, I’ll take care of myself,” and refused to be placed in a nursing facility. She put up a trust for her belongings and hired a caregiver. When Anne realized her scheme to steal Julia’s money had backfired, she lost her temper and stopped coming. With the nanny, Julia had a calm house where she spent her days reading and gardening.After a while, Anne said to her mother, “Mom, I apologize.” I see now how mistaken I was. Can we restart now? Julia concurred, stressing the value of love and respect.Anne started paying Julia additional visits, genuinely concerned and respectful.“It’s never too late to stand up for yourself, to demand the respect you deserve, and to teach those around you the true meaning of love and family,” Julia realized as their relationship strengthened and she began to feel empowered.“It’s never too late to stand up for yourself, to demand the respect you deserve, and to teach those around you the true meaning of love and family,” Julia realized as their relationship strengthened and she began to feel empowered.
